The localization of wave propagation due to random disorder is discussed by introducing the concept of the localization factor that is calculated by the plane-wave-based transfer-matrix method. By treating the quasi-periodicity as the deviation from the periodicity in a special way, two kinds of quasi phononic crystal that has quasi-periodicity (Fibonacci sequence) in one direction and translational symmetry in the other direction are considered and the band structures are characterized by using localization factors. The results show that the localization factor is an effective parameter in characterizing the band gaps of two-dimensional perfect, randomly disordered and quasi-periodic phononic crystals. Band structures of the phononic crystals can be tuned by different random disorder or changing quasi-periodic parameters. The quasi phononic crystals exhibit more band gaps with narrower width than the ordered and randomly disordered systems.展开更多

More recently, the phenomenon of a "loss" of the twins has been reported in microcompression experiments of the magnesium single crystals. Molecular dynamics simulation of compression deformation shows that the pyramidal 〈α + c〉 slip dominates compression behavior at the nanoscale. No compression twins are observed at different temperatures at different loadings and boundary conditions. This is explained by the analyses, that is, the {10^_12} and {10^11} twins can be activated under c-axis tension, while compression twins will not occur when the c/α ratio of the hcp metal is below √3. Our theoretical and simulation results are consistent with recent microcompression experiments of the magnesium (0001) single crystals.展开更多
